How To Make A Stenciled T-Shirt

Step 1: Draw Your Design

Draw your design on the freezer paper, on the side without plastic wrap. You can also print your design directly on the freezer paper.

Step 2: Cut

Carefully cut your drawn design out of the freezer paper.

Step 3: Position

Position your stencil on the t-shirt, be sure the side with the plastic wrap is against the fabric. Iron your stencil to make it stick to the t-shirt.

Step 4: Slip A Piece Of Cardboard

Slip a piece of cardboard or newspaper into your shirt to prevent the paint from bleeding through the back of your t-shirt.

Step 5: Paint

With a foam brush start painting your t-shirt. Go slowly and use little paint at a time.

Step 6: Remove

When the paint is dry, carefully remove the stencil. Just pull it gently, it can be removed easily.
